Did you notice how Mal recruited Jayne? It wasn't just "Here's more money." Yeah, Mal was offering more, but the way he framed it was, "You're not being respected; you're not being treated fair." As much as Jayne is motivated by money, a part of him (probably a part he is unaware of) wants to be respected (and to be worthy of respect).
@@larrystuder6378 LOL, I just started to comment using the same classic phrasing with my own additions of descriptors synonymous with your own... Kaylee carries goodness and light and caring....... And a strong will of helpfulness. A friendly guiltless "Hi" and as soon as needed shifted right into "let me fix your problem!". Besides, from Day 1 she's been trying to get in Simon's pants. Teased that she's "always one man short". "Have good sex!". And in Jaynestown was making her move on Simon, offended that he would say he ruled her out for sex, and then having a serious talk about "why not?" on a progression in their relationship and sex with him. Personally, I loved that as the introduction to Kaylee and it, the initial reveal and her follow up of helpfulness, both perfectly fitting and unsurprising... Just a joy to see how funny/odd her and Mal's meeting was. My only thought of "hm" to the scene was about her comment about seeing the problem when she was down on her back earlier during sex. Either engines really do "make her hot" or she was Not being distracted properly by surf-boy lol.
Kaylee is pure of heart, not innocent 😀 That's entirely possible. And for Jayne "I prepped a suit for you" is positively sentimental. There's a lot more to the things the crew say than just the words. This episode would actually have worked as the finale (if they'd moved it to the end)
Yes to all that. As Jayne said last time, "I'm no good with words; don't use 'em much, myself". He does care about Mal (and the other people he considers part of his crew), but he's not going to make a song and dance about it: his actions get the message across.
@@elvwood Yeah, a lot of folks don't catch that or even more often that awkward pause he has before walking away from Mal. That's a strong moment of "I am not comfortable expressing things".
Wrong. That almost ruined kaylee. stereotypical sluytpriyde BS making every girl a one-night-standing hoar. pretty much hollywood 101 for all female characters since 1980s. that's just one of several similar reasons they're all become weak cookie cutter characters. only thing that makes them different is the superficial, but eventually they all gotta bring their girl powah sass-preening and slootery, which make them all the same below the cosmetic layer. sad. what makes kaylee instantly attractive to pretty much everyone who reacts to this series is that she breaks from that absurd uncreative trope. well, she did until this episode. probably a design by committe decision inserted by an idelogical quota hire. thankfully, it left no lasting impact on kaylee. was just a "demonstrate the sloot powah!" scene then move on and forget.
I love watching reactors, including you, process this episode. The look of concern and confusion right off the bat, then the sadness of seeing the Captain alone and hurt. Realizing just a few minutes in that there are flashbacks and, in fact, three different timelines going on. Then at the end I’ve seen men get choked up when Mal asked if they were going to be there when he woke up. It is brilliant storytelling and filmmaking. I think it’s probably my favorite episode of TV ever.
*"Then at the end I’ve seen men get choked up when Mal asked if they were going to be there when he woke up."* Guilty as charged. No matter how many times I watch it! Honestly, there could be tears.
Fun fact-Alan Tudyk gave Joss Whedon the button from this episode and told him to press it when he got his miracle. That miracle was the movie Serenity
Kaylee mentioned in the episodes "Serenity" and "The Train Job" that they needed to replace an engine part. Engines make Kaylee hot. That's never been a secret. My favorite 3 episodes are Out of Gas, War Stories, and Objects in Space.
Just for a second there it seemed like he was showing actual empathy and concern for his fellow crew. Then we realized he was just worried they were using up his air.
Out of Gas is most fans' favourite episode of the show and the last scene shows Mal in love with the sighting of Serenity for the first time Great reaction! Glad you enjoyed this one Jon from Aus
I think of Kaylee as a Bohemian free spirit. BTW she also serves as the cook, additionally the little embellishments like the flower and vine paintings in the galley was Kaylee playing "makeup" with her girlfriend Serenity. Serenity is a character in her own right as is indicated by her relationship with Kaylee, and hinted at by Inara.
The flashback that tells you the most is Jaynes. It tells you why Mal an Jayne speak so openly about how Jayne can be bought. They got him to turn on his last boss by buying him off. So his lack of loyalty to anything but money is a trait Mal knew he was getting from him at the start.
I actually really like the Kaylee flashback, because while it's funny because it takes you by surprise, it's actually perfectly in keeping with her character (she's always been the horny/boy-crazy one), and it demonstrates that being sexually eager/open is not the opposite of being innocent. She's both. What could be more innocent than when she sweetly tells Inara to "have good sex"?
Kaylee is kind, cheerful and a sweetheart but she is in no way unversed or aversed to sex. "Have good sex" she says to Inara while standing next to Simon in one episode. "You just want to take a bite out of him" she says to Inara about Simon in "Bushwhacked". There are also future examples which I wont mention at this stage.
I second that. She is quite attracted to and enjoys all kind of pleasing and sensual things. Besides her crush on the doctor, think how she ate that strawberry in the first episode, that was almost erotic. Or how much she liked to let her "girly"-side out in "Shindig" with the fancy ball, the dancing, the pretty cloth, the "do you think it looks better up" scene with Inara etc. As others stated here, she's sweet and has a big heart, but she's not innocent in the sense of "prude" at all. In fact she's very open in a hippy/free spirit way.
The attention to detail and the old art of cameo appearances in this series always amazed me. Cameo referring to an inanimate object. The part that failed in this episode makes a cameo in almost all the other episodes and movie. Usually treated with disdain as if it is junk. lol
The title of the episode - "Out of Gas" - has a double-meaning that is often missed by people watching it on UA-cam for the first time. Conventionally, it means that a vehicle is stopped and needs fuel to proceed (which is certainly analogous to the situation portrayed), but the second meaning, that Serenity's crew is literally *_out of OXYGEN, i.e. "out of gas" - the gas that we all need to breathe in order to survive_* is more pertinent, I'd argue, to their situation.
The shuttle solution: 2 shuttles, 4 crew apiece, Mal remains on Serenity. It allows Mal to subsist longer in the air envelope based on how many are breathing atmo. Pure math that submariners can calculate based on volume. Shuttle 1: Inara, Kaylee, Jayne, and Shepherd Book. If discovered by an Alliance patrol, there are no alerts or warrants on them and they can go to any world and find work. Inara in her shuttle is second only to Wash as a pilot. She will watch out for Kaylee, and Shepherd Book can keep Jayne respectful of the women. Shuttle 2: Zoe, Wash, Simon, and River. Zoe needed medical care, and Wash would not be separated, obviously. Wash is the best pilot; Zoe has the same Browncoat and black-market contacts as Mal and would honor his commitment to keep the Tams free from the Alliance. The arrangement also spared the Tams from Jayne's underlying greed. Mal showed that he would do everything to save his crew and his ship.
Kaylee has been trying to get Simon into bed from the start. She's also been trying to get Mal to replace that catalyzer from the start. "Had a kind of poetry to it, sir." Zoe gets the best one-liners. I'm calling this my favorite episode, next to War Stories.
@@VicFrost Actually, it's Jack (the doctor) really early on (maybe episode one). Other examples (also from Jack, I believe) talk about the death of his dog, "We all die alone." This expression has now been echoed through many series and always means the same thing. I do have some interesting facts about the wheelchair dude, Loch. Lost is full of imagery, symbolism and allegory. I must watch the entire series again real soon.
One of the best edited, directed, acted and written episodes of not only the whole show. But of all TV. Astronomically intelligent story telling, character development, emotional turmoil, callbacks and setups. This is my favourite episode for a reason. You can pick this episode apart pieces by piece and discover layers of philosophy and metaphors and things. All the episodes do and that's what makes the show so truly amazing, but this episode is the absolute diamond. Perfection.
Do you remember the part Kaylee wanted to get a spare of in the first episode? The spot on the deck that Mal and Zoe avoid walking on because "something was living here" is the spot Mal collapsed on when he was shot. This one and Objects in Space are my favorites. Loving your reactions
I love this episode. I still have trouble deciding which is my favourite, but this one is always in my top 3. And I love your face when you first saw the moustache! I guess we know what bothered Zoe XD
The themes I see here are found family, leadership, and loyalty. All the flashbacks help to show how these nine people from different places, different educational and socioeconomic backgrounds, even different belief systems, end up forming a family. Leadership. Can you imagine this happening to the crew minus Mal’s leadership? Especially with Zoe out of the picture, Mal is the glue that holds them all together in order to get done what has to be done. The last one, loyalty, is the one that can make me teary-eyed. Zoe insisted on returning, even if it meant death. She was determined that no matter what, she was not going to let Mal die alone if it came to that. Such a beautiful relationship. Purely platonic but deeply loyal to one another.
Absolutely agree. I would argue that the mid-season stretch of episodes - from #6 to #10 - is where this show peaked (for me anyway). Every single one of them was brilliant in all aspects, and it's really hard to rank them, but currently, I have _War Stories_ as #1, _Out of Gas_ in 2nd place (sometimes it's 1st for me though), _Ariel_ at 3rd (I've had this as #1 too though, periodically), and then _Jaynestown_ at 4th and _Our Mrs. Reynolds_ 5th (neither one of these have ever been in my first place spot though...I did have _Jaynestown_ at 2nd place once though).
@VicFrost You would really enjoy the reimagined Battlestar Galactica. BSG is an adult space drama with lots of "space shit" thrown in. The Cyclons will surprise, delight and horrify you. It's a treatise on the human condition that does not hold back. All the characters are incredibly flawed in their own way.
@@James-sc6vx Actually, those were precisely the words I used when BSG 2 first aired to describe its magic. That it wasn't so much science fiction as science drama. A drama/tragedy set against a science fiction backdrop.
I loved this episode instantly... but I didn't fully appreciate WHY I loved it so much until I listened to the DVD commentary on this episode... The lighting, the camera lenses and filters (some of them literally not used since the 1970's... they pulled them out of storage to get exactly the RIGHT "look" for each different set of "times" in the storyline). They also told the story about how Alan Tudyk gave Joss the big red button the day they all found out the show was cancelled and told Joss "If your miracle comes, you hit that button, and we'll all come running". That "Miracle" was the movie, Serenity. Lastly - I've been darn curious trying to place your accent! I'm obviously not great with accents, so, where ARE you from?
When Mal tells Inara "Everybody dies alone", it gets me every time. She's just letting the slightest hint of her feelings for him show, but the soldier in him has already accepted his fate, to sacrifice himself for even the most remote chance of saving his crew. Actually, you were right with your comment about having faith in each other. Mal knew that their only chance was to split up, give them two chances of someone finding another ship and getting the part. That''s what I picked up on my last watch through, and what I mentioned in my comment on your last episode, Shepherd Book trying to teach River a lesson about faith. He said "You don't fix faith, faith fixes you" or words that that effect. In this episode he's literally searching through his bible, trying to find something to give him hope, to restore his faith, and it's River's turn to console him. Except her broken mind causes her to tell him how she thinks they're really going to die, freezing to death instead of gasping for air, which isn't exactly comforting to Book. This episode is by far my favourite, probably my favourite of any show I've ever watched. The direction and cinematography is so good, the writing is excellent, and each and every actor's performances are perfect. I love how they transition between the different timelines, there's some very clever tricks of the camera and editing. The way they use lighting to distinguish between the "now", "how we got here" and "flashback" timelines. The "now" timeline is very ambiently lit, mostly long streaks of shadowy blue from windows out of shot or fluorescent emergency lighting. The "how we got here" timeline starts out warmly lit to represent the homeliness of Simon's birthday and the candles on the cake, then came the fire, after which it transitions to the more neutral regular ship lighting but with more shadows than usual, representing the uncertainty of their situation. And then there's the "flashback" timeline which is lit with more oranges, yellows and greens, which obviously contrasts it with the other two timelines. And the transitions are so good. The first few are excellent and really get the viewer on board for how the episode will play out. First there's Mal who's fallen onto the metal grate floor of the cargo bay, and as he's remembering the voice of the ship salesman saying "you buy this ship, treat her proper, she'll be with you for the rest of your life" as the light from the cargo bay doors opening splashes across his face, but it's from the flashback as Mal opens the doors to show Zoe the ship for the first time. And then as they walk through the hatch at the other end of the cargo bay, the light transitions from the warmer yellows and oranges of the flashback, to the shadowy blues of the "now" timeline as the camera shifts back down to Mal laying on the floor. And then it cuts to the shot from below to reveal Mal's blood dripping from the grate as the tense music swells. Such great direction and cinematography. And it's great that they didn't do the lazy thing of putting up a title saying "6 hours ago" or whatever. They trusted that the viewer would get what's happening, which makes the impact so much greater. Anyway, I could keep writing about this episode forever, but this comment is already way too long. I'll just say I always enjoy seeing people's reactions to this episode, and yours was no exception. I'm glad you enjoyed this episode, and I definitely enjoyed watching your reaction.
This episode was so good, the way they used the lighting to show the different timelines and just how the characters were feeling was very spot on. The transitions were also very well done, really had me changing angle all the time. Completely agree with all the points you raised
This episode is the entire reason for why people love this show, and when anyone gets to this episode they’re hooked. Welcome to the browncoats, it only gets better from here.
I like the portrayal of Kaylee as someone upbeat, perky, and innocent, and someone who has and loves sex. Sex isn't inherently not innocent, as it's just another natural part of human behavior for many. If one grows up without shame and guilt attached to sex, then it can be as innocent and enjoyable as eating a good apple. 🧡
Brilliant story telling on this episode! It's the perfect touch at the end of the episode when we see the ship salesman was trying to sell Mal a different ship but his heart was set on Serenity. - You know things are bad when Jayne IS the voice of reason. Yelling and fighting does use up oxygen faster. PS: Oxygen is a gas (Out of Gas). - "Catalyzer on the port compression coil blew" - Kaylee has been complaining about this part since the pilot episode. This is the episode where I like to talk about Mal metaphorically. I like to think every crew member represents an aspect of Mal. Also, in an abstract way - Serenity is the tenth member of the crew (inability to settle under Alliance rule. Desire to wander). Aspects of Mal: Zoe - Military Comradery and command structure Wash - Wit, seeing the humorous side of things Inara - Love and the inability to express it (Brought on by the war in Mal's case) Shepherd Book - Religion (repressed by War PTSD for Mal), the belief & desire to do right Kaylee - Optimism in life, (Also repressed by War PTSD for Mal), Love and devotion for Serenity Simon - Loyalty & protection (Simon to River, Mal to his crew) Jayne - Mercenary, Pessimistic view of the world (For Mal - Brought on from the war), Justifies doing crime. River - Mental anguish at the hands of the Alliance. Feeling lost. The need to get away from the Alliance. (For Mal - Brought on from the war) Serenity - The ship is the 10th member of the crew. It represents the freedom Mal is seeking.
A great episode as you get to see all the backstories. I think Kaylee's backstory was shocking on purpose to show you another side of her to not make her a one sided sweet character.
Inara: "Companions don't kiss-and-tell". Mal: "So, there IS kissing..?" [Vic: Of course there is!] Mal was doing a callback to Our Mrs. Reynolds when he assumed that Inara allowed Saffron to kiss her.
This is definitely one of my top two episodes, along with one you haven't got to yet. If you ever get the chance, watch it with the commentary: it's brilliant. One thing it does is explain decisions that I only noticed subconsciously, for instance the use of different lighting to distinguish the timezones, which makes it way easier for my brain to keep track of what's going on!
This is one of my top 3 episodes. Gina had a small part in this episode because she was getting married to Lawrence Fishburne. In the pilot and Train Job, Kaylee tried to get Mal to buy a replacement part. I loved your reaction to Mayer's back story. I thought she was sweet and innocence, but after this I see her has free spirited and hippie vibe. All the back stories were great to watch.
@9:15 It's not that Wash is in the way of the doc working on Zoe, it's that if Wash and Kaylee can't get the ship going then it won't matter whether or not Simon can patch up Zoe's injuries.
Stressful, emotional... outstanding. Just amazing, very touching. Glad you enjoyed it. The captain goes down with the ship, and Mal understands the integrity of that.
I never understood some people's reaction to Kaylee in this episode. She **is** a pure soul. Doesn't mean she can't be sex positive. She actually hasn't been shown to be shy in that regard at all.
This is my favorite Firefly episode, but "Objects in Space" comes reeaally close, and was actually my initial favorite, so there's goodness to look forward to.
As well as comments made by others about her and her displayed absolute comfort with the subject of sex with Inara - to Simon's shock/surprise at one point lol. Kaylee's an earthy angel.
@@sebastianwittmeier1274I don't think at this point Kaylee's feelings towards Simon are so much love as lust mixed with some respect and affection. And I don't think unrequited is the right word either. He's unsure if he wants to take the next step towards giving Kaylee what she wants, but that's not the same as saying he doesn't feel anything for her.
As mentioned at the last episodes reaction, if I really would have to pick a favourite episode, this would probably be it. But than again, every episode that plays at the moment is a favourite. They are all so good. What makes this one outstanding for me is, how clever we got all the backstories of the crew mixed into the main story. After this one you connect even more to every character.
I feel like each member of the crew is an external embodiment of some fragment of Mal's shattered spirit (still wounded from The War). Mal's effort to guide and protect them reflects an inner struggle to repair his own anima.
It really was a great episode, huh? One of my faves. Your reaction to it is my favorite so far. Quite the dramatic episode. Interesting time jumps. Flashbacks to how the original crew came aboard is nice. A lot of people reacting to this episode remark about Kaylee being “innocent.” I always considered her kind, sweet, non-confrontational & honest. Never innocent, though, imho. And your reaction to River’s “freeze to death” statement was fantastic! 😁 Never would have guessed you were in your pajamas. Thought you were dressed in sporty winter wear. Hair looked really nice, if you don’t mind me saying. Recent haircut? Thank you, as always, for sharing your work with us. Until next time… 🤩
It really was a great episode! This made me realize she’s not innocent, but it sure seems like it sometimes! Looking back on editing it could’ve been winter wear indeed! And yeah I did cut my hair! It’s a new hairstyle, thanks!
Imho this is the best episode of the few that we have. And it has the best dialogue of the show. Except that it happened off the screen and we didn’t get to see what was said! Q: when Zoe woke up and learned where she was and what had happened, what did Zoe say to convince BOTH shuttles to return to Serenity where they KNEW there would be no heat or air and almost certain death?
Your pajama-ness is cute! I'm in my pajamas on my couch watching! The Kaylee backstory is awesome. We see why she has no problem with Inara's profession, she just doesn't see sex as anything but a natural human activity, nothing shameful. :) This episode is a masterpiece in storytelling, weaving together multiple timelines and giving us lots of great scenes and moments.
This is my favorite episode. I like all of them but this one is so revealing about everyone. So we agree on that. LOL Your reaction was so much fun to watch. Y'all be safe.
"Comfy" is good. You look fine. I'm sure most of us viewers don't look as presentable as you. 😁 Firefly is such a great show. Every time you pick a favorite episode, the very next one takes its place. EVERY episode is the "best" -- each in their own way. Thanks for another great reaction! 🤗
Most comments, including my replies, have been about the Kaylee reveal but I think of all the great moments in this episode (in my absolute top two episodes) the second best is "Everybody dies alone" and the top favorite is Mal grabbing Wash when he won't follow orders. Between his showing the first truly aggressive steps seen in enforcing his command, as with each of the others his tailoring his actions to what that crew members needs to function. in the emergency, the way Wash does pull together from it out of his complete panic, and the shot of everyone taking a. move back - especially a Jayne who looks a bit frightened.... Absolutely a great scene for Mal as a captain and showing us more of his command presence and crew assessments. Won't give away any spoilers but I will say I think in this episode his different treatments appropriate to each crew member's strengths and weaknesses laid an excellent foundation for events in future episodes regarding his good judgement of his crew and the bonds he's made with them all. Also, the foresight to attach a gun to equipment before letting the other ship personnel in and as it became clear it was going negative maneuvering his presence slowly towards it... ending with him landing next to it.
I agree about Mal knowing what he needs to do to lead the crew, each in their own way. He has to be forceful with Wash at that moment - but he's not insensitive. Witness his comment, after Wash has done all the technical things that need doing: "Go see to your wife."
@@rudewalrus5636 Absolutely! As a good captain and person, ultimately, he knows the time and place on how to handle the those who serve under him. Shows as with many times he has the balance needed.
Hi Vic. 1. I was about to write, that watching you see Wash's moustache was my favourite part, until you saw the first time Kaylee was on the ship 2. Just like you, this also ruined my impression of Kaylee a bit, so I was glad not being the only one feeling that way.
I just assume the "we're not moving" and dead in the water referred to the fact the engine was down and they couldn't course correct or accelerate or move in any controlled manner.
the phrase dead in the water was actually factually accurate, as the act of venting the atmosphere and expelling the fire would have stopped most or all forward motion since the engine was dead at that point and the cargo doors on serenity are at the front of the ship
Vic I think it is absolutely adorable that you keep getting Jayne’s name wrong. I’d love it if you made it into a bit and started getting it wrong on purpose with more and more names starting with a J and then commentary by the editor complaining about it.
To answer your question, I think I speak for everyone when I say pajamas are simply unacceptable, formal attire is expected. 9/10 reaction due to -1 from no formal attire.
As much as i love this show, it yet again gets physics completely wrong. If life support goes off you would fry not freeze, eliminating heat is the hardest thing to do in space. Without convection or conduction the only way to release heat is radiation which is way slower than heat is generated by equipment and bodies. Still love the show though.
I love your Firefly reactions and hope you'll watch Serenity AFTER you finish the series. Only one tiny issue I wish that you (and many other UA-camrs) would fix. The sound for your comments is much louder than the sound of the episode. So, I either have to turn it down to hear you fine but can't here the episode or turn it up to hear the episode, then your part is too loud. Thanks. Keep up the excellent reactions.
Did you notice how Mal recruited Jayne? It wasn't just "Here's more money." Yeah, Mal was offering more, but the way he framed it was, "You're not being respected; you're not being treated fair." As much as Jayne is motivated by money, a part of him (probably a part he is unaware of) wants to be respected (and to be worthy of respect).
I hadn't considered that, but I think you're spot on.
That is very true, makes more sense with his character as well, even if he likes money
Kaylee may not be SO innocent...but she's still pure. A sweet soul. 😇
There is no sin in Kaylee, no guilt, no shame...
@@larrystuder6378 LOL, I just started to comment using the same classic phrasing with my own additions of descriptors synonymous with your own... Kaylee carries goodness and light and caring.......

Yeah, I think I meant pure soul rather.
Kaylee is pure of heart, not innocent 😀
That's entirely possible.
And for Jayne "I prepped a suit for you" is positively sentimental. There's a lot more to the things the crew say than just the words.
This episode would actually have worked as the finale (if they'd moved it to the end)
Yes to all that. As Jayne said last time, "I'm no good with words; don't use 'em much, myself". He does care about Mal (and the other people he considers part of his crew), but he's not going to make a song and dance about it: his actions get the message across.
@@elvwood Yeah, a lot of folks don't catch that or even more often that awkward pause he has before walking away from Mal. That's a strong moment of "I am not comfortable expressing things".
I love how Kaylee is written as sweet, but not stupid or naive. I haven't seen her type much in ficiton, or sci-fi at least.
I think it's not so much that Kaylee isn't innocent as that she doesn't have the hangups that would make innocence and sexuality mutually exclusive.
Wrong. That almost ruined kaylee. stereotypical sluytpriyde BS making every girl a one-night-standing hoar. pretty much hollywood 101 for all female characters since 1980s. that's just one of several similar reasons they're all become weak cookie cutter characters. only thing that makes them different is the superficial, but eventually they all gotta bring their girl powah sass-preening and slootery, which make them all the same below the cosmetic layer. sad.
what makes kaylee instantly attractive to pretty much everyone who reacts to this series is that she breaks from that absurd uncreative trope. well, she did until this episode. probably a design by committe decision inserted by an idelogical quota hire. thankfully, it left no lasting impact on kaylee. was just a "demonstrate the sloot powah!" scene then move on and forget.
I love watching reactors, including you, process this episode. The look of concern and confusion right off the bat, then the sadness of seeing the Captain alone and hurt.

Guilty as charged. No matter how many times I watch it! Honestly, there could be tears.
It was so emotional, I loved seeing him wake up. It's one of the best episodes indeed
Fun fact-Alan Tudyk gave Joss Whedon the button from this episode and told him to press it when he got his miracle. That miracle was the movie Serenity
so glad
My favorite episode, and one where I realized that the ship, Serenity, is also a character in the story of Firefly...so much more than just a prop.
Serenity is the home and the heart
This episode is still one of the best examples of non-linear storytelling I've ever seen - TV or film.
Thanks for letting us watch it with you..
I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Kaylee mentioned in the episodes "Serenity" and "The Train Job" that they needed to replace an engine part.
Engines make Kaylee hot. That's never been a secret.
My favorite 3 episodes are Out of Gas, War Stories, and Objects in Space.
That specific part, the catalyzer. She refrained from telling Mal, "I told you so."
Plus Kaylee has been horny on main for Simon since episode 1
You KNOW you're in deep go se, when Jayne is the voice of reason.
Just for a second there it seemed like he was showing actual empathy and concern for his fellow crew. Then we realized he was just worried they were using up his air.
I love that the Kaylee intro shows that someone can be wholesome and pure and still enjoy a good tumble.
Out of Gas is most fans' favourite episode of the show and the last scene shows Mal in love with the sighting of Serenity for the first time Great reaction! Glad you enjoyed this one Jon from Aus
Yes, Kaylee is a sweetheart. But she was also a bored country girl on a backwoods moon. Can't blame a girl for making her own fun.
👍🏻 Exactly. Kind, sweet lady, but never thought her “innocent.”
I think of Kaylee as a Bohemian free spirit.
BTW she also serves as the cook, additionally the little embellishments like the flower and vine paintings in the galley was Kaylee playing "makeup" with her girlfriend Serenity.
Serenity is a character in her own right as is indicated by her relationship with Kaylee, and hinted at by Inara.
Yeah I can definitely see that now
The only back story that didn’t surprise me was Jayne’s.😂
You gotta love a good mercenary. Have gun, will travel.
The flashback that tells you the most is Jaynes. It tells you why Mal an Jayne speak so openly about how Jayne can be bought. They got him to turn on his last boss by buying him off. So his lack of loyalty to anything but money is a trait Mal knew he was getting from him at the start.
I would respectfully disagree with you.
While Jayne may want money, it is not his true loyalty... but I don't want to say more at this time.
I agree that he can be bought, but at the same time, he would've left earlier so...
I actually really like the Kaylee flashback, because while it's funny because it takes you by surprise, it's actually perfectly in keeping with her character (she's always been the horny/boy-crazy one), and it demonstrates that being sexually eager/open is not the opposite of being innocent. She's both. What could be more innocent than when she sweetly tells Inara to "have good sex"?
Kaylee is kind, cheerful and a sweetheart but she is in no way unversed or aversed to sex.
"Have good sex" she says to Inara while standing next to Simon in one episode.
"You just want to take a bite out of him" she says to Inara about Simon in "Bushwhacked".
There are also future examples which I wont mention at this stage.
I second that. She is quite attracted to and enjoys all kind of pleasing and sensual things. Besides her crush on the doctor, think how she ate that strawberry in the first episode, that was almost erotic. Or how much she liked to let her "girly"-side out in "Shindig" with the fancy ball, the dancing, the pretty cloth, the "do you think it looks better up" scene with Inara etc.
As others stated here, she's sweet and has a big heart, but she's not innocent in the sense of "prude" at all. In fact she's very open in a hippy/free spirit way.
Yeah, I didn't make the link at all
The attention to detail and the old art of cameo appearances in this series always amazed me. Cameo referring to an inanimate object. The part that failed in this episode makes a cameo in almost all the other episodes and movie. Usually treated with disdain as if it is junk. lol
The title of the episode - "Out of Gas" - has a double-meaning that is often missed by people watching it on UA-cam for the first time. Conventionally, it means that a vehicle is stopped and needs fuel to proceed (which is certainly analogous to the situation portrayed), but the second meaning, that Serenity's crew is literally *_out of OXYGEN, i.e. "out of gas" - the gas that we all need to breathe in order to survive_* is more pertinent, I'd argue, to their situation.
Yeah, I missed that the very first time I watched it.
Oh I interpreted it as only the second meaning haha
The shuttle solution:
2 shuttles, 4 crew apiece, Mal remains on Serenity.
It allows Mal to subsist longer in the air envelope based on how many are breathing atmo. Pure math that submariners can calculate based on volume.
Shuttle 1: Inara, Kaylee, Jayne, and Shepherd Book. If discovered by an Alliance patrol, there are no alerts or warrants on them and they can go to any world and find work. Inara in her shuttle is second only to Wash as a pilot. She will watch out for Kaylee, and Shepherd Book can keep Jayne respectful of the women.
Shuttle 2: Zoe, Wash, Simon, and River. Zoe needed medical care, and Wash would not be separated, obviously. Wash is the best pilot; Zoe has the same Browncoat and black-market contacts as Mal and would honor his commitment to keep the Tams free from the Alliance. The arrangement also spared the Tams from Jayne's underlying greed.
Mal showed that he would do everything to save his crew and his ship.
Oh that makes sense! Thanks for explaining it!
I'm still convinced the only reason Kaylee had sex with the guy was to get inside Serenity and see the engine.
That's probably true...
I agree
I would 100% believe that
Yeah, Joss Whedon would never kill off a main character in episode 8. That would be much too early. He'd at least wait until episode 9. 😁
Kaylee has been trying to get Simon into bed from the start. She's also been trying to get Mal to replace that catalyzer from the start.
"Had a kind of poetry to it, sir." Zoe gets the best one-liners.
I'm calling this my favorite episode, next to War Stories.
This one and that episode, absolute tops for me.
Lost -> "Live together or die alone."
Omg yeah it’s the wheelchair dude right?
@@VicFrost Actually, it's Jack (the doctor) really early on (maybe episode one). Other examples (also from Jack, I believe) talk about the death of his dog, "We all die alone." This expression has now been echoed through many series and always means the same thing. I do have some interesting facts about the wheelchair dude, Loch. Lost is full of imagery, symbolism and allegory. I must watch the entire series again real soon.
One of the best edited, directed, acted and written episodes of not only the whole show. But of all TV. Astronomically intelligent story telling, character development, emotional turmoil, callbacks and setups. This is my favourite episode for a reason. You can pick this episode apart pieces by piece and discover layers of philosophy and metaphors and things. All the episodes do and that's what makes the show so truly amazing, but this episode is the absolute diamond. Perfection.
Zoe's(Gina Torres) injury was written in to free her for her wedding to Lawrence Fishburne(Morphius in "The Matrix, among his many roles).
Do you remember the part Kaylee wanted to get a spare of in the first episode? The spot on the deck that Mal and Zoe avoid walking on because "something was living here" is the spot Mal collapsed on when he was shot.
This one and Objects in Space are my favorites.
Loving your reactions
I love this episode. I still have trouble deciding which is my favourite, but this one is always in my top 3.
And I love your face when you first saw the moustache! I guess we know what bothered Zoe XD
Or she learned to love, what bothered her (not the moustache), and it is the reason they ended up marrying?
life support scrubs the stale air and cleans the carbon dioxide out of it
"Wait, Gina Torres is dead?"
I hate you. Don't do that to my poor heart The rest of this crew must live long after I'm gone.
Haha sorry! My brain immediately went there
Jayne's character development: start from Jaynestown, Out of Gas, Serenity through Ariel (I saw you released Ariel' reaction already).
My favorite Episode :)
The themes I see here are found family, leadership, and loyalty.
All the flashbacks help to show how these nine people from different places, different educational and socioeconomic backgrounds, even different belief systems, end up forming a family.
Leadership. Can you imagine this happening to the crew minus Mal’s leadership? Especially with Zoe out of the picture, Mal is the glue that holds them all together in order to get done what has to be done.
The last one, loyalty, is the one that can make me teary-eyed. Zoe insisted on returning, even if it meant death. She was determined that no matter what, she was not going to let Mal die alone if it came to that. Such a beautiful relationship. Purely platonic but deeply loyal to one another.
You're absolutely right, these themes I think lead the show as a whole, but show much more in this episode
This episode was beautifully written. I have never seen a backstory reveal so impressive. Thanks for your amazing reaction.
I'm glad you enjoyed yourself
I’m always changing which episode is my favorite… but this one is alway in the top 3 (ok, top 2) for the whole season / show. 😎
Absolutely agree. I would argue that the mid-season stretch of episodes - from #6 to #10 - is where this show peaked (for me anyway). Every single one of them was brilliant in all aspects, and it's really hard to rank them, but currently, I have _War Stories_ as #1, _Out of Gas_ in 2nd place (sometimes it's 1st for me though), _Ariel_ at 3rd (I've had this as #1 too though, periodically), and then _Jaynestown_ at 4th and _Our Mrs. Reynolds_ 5th (neither one of these have ever been in my first place spot though...I did have _Jaynestown_ at 2nd place once though).
Ask 15 Browncoats which is their favorite episode, you'll get at least 16 answers...
@@larrystuder6378 & I’ll bet this one will be near the top for most all of em 😉
@VicFrost You would really enjoy the reimagined Battlestar Galactica. BSG is an adult space drama with lots of "space shit" thrown in. The Cyclons will surprise, delight and horrify you. It's a treatise on the human condition that does not hold back. All the characters are incredibly flawed in their own way.
Do I see a fellow Angela fan here by any chance? 😇
@@James-sc6vxIf we are talking FLG, then then yes,
@@philipsnettleton yes. Whenever I hear those special 2 words I'll always equate them to the tiny crazy lady 😇
@@James-sc6vx Actually, those were precisely the words I used when BSG 2 first aired to describe its magic. That it wasn't so much science fiction as science drama. A drama/tragedy set against a science fiction backdrop.
I loved this episode instantly... but I didn't fully appreciate WHY I loved it so much until I listened to the DVD commentary on this episode... The lighting, the camera lenses and filters (some of them literally not used since the 1970's... they pulled them out of storage to get exactly the RIGHT "look" for each different set of "times" in the storyline).
They also told the story about how Alan Tudyk gave Joss the big red button the day they all found out the show was cancelled and told Joss "If your miracle comes, you hit that button, and we'll all come running". That "Miracle" was the movie, Serenity.
Lastly - I've been darn curious trying to place your accent! I'm obviously not great with accents, so, where ARE you from?
It’s really a great episode. I really loved how they did it. I’m from Quebec, Canada. My first language is French🥰
When Mal tells Inara "Everybody dies alone", it gets me every time. She's just letting the slightest hint of her feelings for him show, but the soldier in him has already accepted his fate, to sacrifice himself for even the most remote chance of saving his crew. Actually, you were right with your comment about having faith in each other. Mal knew that their only chance was to split up, give them two chances of someone finding another ship and getting the part.
That''s what I picked up on my last watch through, and what I mentioned in my comment on your last episode, Shepherd Book trying to teach River a lesson about faith. He said "You don't fix faith, faith fixes you" or words that that effect. In this episode he's literally searching through his bible, trying to find something to give him hope, to restore his faith, and it's River's turn to console him. Except her broken mind causes her to tell him how she thinks they're really going to die, freezing to death instead of gasping for air, which isn't exactly comforting to Book.
This episode is by far my favourite, probably my favourite of any show I've ever watched. The direction and cinematography is so good, the writing is excellent, and each and every actor's performances are perfect. I love how they transition between the different timelines, there's some very clever tricks of the camera and editing. The way they use lighting to distinguish between the "now", "how we got here" and "flashback" timelines. The "now" timeline is very ambiently lit, mostly long streaks of shadowy blue from windows out of shot or fluorescent emergency lighting. The "how we got here" timeline starts out warmly lit to represent the homeliness of Simon's birthday and the candles on the cake, then came the fire, after which it transitions to the more neutral regular ship lighting but with more shadows than usual, representing the uncertainty of their situation. And then there's the "flashback" timeline which is lit with more oranges, yellows and greens, which obviously contrasts it with the other two timelines. And the transitions are so good. The first few are excellent and really get the viewer on board for how the episode will play out. First there's Mal who's fallen onto the metal grate floor of the cargo bay, and as he's remembering the voice of the ship salesman saying "you buy this ship, treat her proper, she'll be with you for the rest of your life" as the light from the cargo bay doors opening splashes across his face, but it's from the flashback as Mal opens the doors to show Zoe the ship for the first time. And then as they walk through the hatch at the other end of the cargo bay, the light transitions from the warmer yellows and oranges of the flashback, to the shadowy blues of the "now" timeline as the camera shifts back down to Mal laying on the floor. And then it cuts to the shot from below to reveal Mal's blood dripping from the grate as the tense music swells.
Such great direction and cinematography. And it's great that they didn't do the lazy thing of putting up a title saying "6 hours ago" or whatever. They trusted that the viewer would get what's happening, which makes the impact so much greater.
Anyway, I could keep writing about this episode forever, but this comment is already way too long. I'll just say I always enjoy seeing people's reactions to this episode, and yours was no exception. I'm glad you enjoyed this episode, and I definitely enjoyed watching your reaction.
3 chances (Serenity + shuttles in opposite directions)
@@sebastianwittmeier1274 Yeah typo, I meant two more chances.
This episode was so good, the way they used the lighting to show the different timelines and just how the characters were feeling was very spot on. The transitions were also very well done, really had me changing angle all the time. Completely agree with all the points you raised
This episode is the entire reason for why people love this show, and when anyone gets to this episode they’re hooked. Welcome to the browncoats, it only gets better from here.
"We want more" The lament of all Firefly fans. :(
I like the portrayal of Kaylee as someone upbeat, perky, and innocent, and someone who has and loves sex. Sex isn't inherently not innocent, as it's just another natural part of human behavior for many. If one grows up without shame and guilt attached to sex, then it can be as innocent and enjoyable as eating a good apple. 🧡
Brilliant story telling on this episode! It's the perfect touch at the end of the episode when we see the ship salesman was trying to sell Mal a different ship but his heart was set on Serenity.
- You know things are bad when Jayne IS the voice of reason. Yelling and fighting does use up oxygen faster. PS: Oxygen is a gas (Out of Gas).
- "Catalyzer on the port compression coil blew" - Kaylee has been complaining about this part since the pilot episode.
This is the episode where I like to talk about Mal metaphorically. I like to think every crew member represents an aspect of Mal. Also, in an abstract way - Serenity is the tenth member of the crew (inability to settle under Alliance rule. Desire to wander).
Aspects of Mal:
Zoe - Military Comradery and command structure
Wash - Wit, seeing the humorous side of things
Inara - Love and the inability to express it (Brought on by the war in Mal's case)
Shepherd Book - Religion (repressed by War PTSD for Mal), the belief & desire to do right
Kaylee - Optimism in life, (Also repressed by War PTSD for Mal), Love and devotion for Serenity
Simon - Loyalty & protection (Simon to River, Mal to his crew)
Jayne - Mercenary, Pessimistic view of the world (For Mal - Brought on from the war), Justifies doing crime.
River - Mental anguish at the hands of the Alliance. Feeling lost. The need to get away from the Alliance. (For Mal - Brought on from the war)
Serenity - The ship is the 10th member of the crew. It represents the freedom Mal is seeking.
That's so interesting! I love that idea
@@VicFrost Thank you :)
A great episode as you get to see all the backstories. I think Kaylee's backstory was shocking on purpose to show you another side of her to not make her a one sided sweet character.
Inara: "Companions don't kiss-and-tell".
Mal: "So, there IS kissing..?"
[Vic: Of course there is!]
Mal was doing a callback to Our Mrs. Reynolds when he assumed that Inara allowed Saffron to kiss her.
Oh! welp, i didn't think this through lol
This is definitely one of my top two episodes, along with one you haven't got to yet. If you ever get the chance, watch it with the commentary: it's brilliant. One thing it does is explain decisions that I only noticed subconsciously, for instance the use of different lighting to distinguish the timezones, which makes it way easier for my brain to keep track of what's going on!
the lighting was such a smart use
This is one of my top 3 episodes. Gina had a small part in this episode because she was getting married to Lawrence Fishburne.
In the pilot and Train Job, Kaylee tried to get Mal to buy a replacement part.
I loved your reaction to Mayer's back story. I thought she was sweet and innocence, but after this I see her has free spirited and hippie vibe.
All the back stories were great to watch.
Mayer?!? You mean Kaylee...
Loved to see the backstories
My fav too, this episode shows us how tight the crew truly is
Everybody take that train ride alone, but it would be nice for somebody to walk out on the terminal with me.
Other than the movie, this is peak Firefly for me. Canceling a show with this much potential should honestly be punishable.
@9:15 It's not that Wash is in the way of the doc working on Zoe, it's that if Wash and Kaylee can't get the ship going then it won't matter whether or not Simon can patch up Zoe's injuries.
Stressful, emotional... outstanding. Just amazing, very touching. Glad you enjoyed it.
The captain goes down with the ship, and Mal understands the integrity of that.
The captain isn't the main character. Serenity is. That's why her introduction, which was first. Was shown last.
I never understood some people's reaction to Kaylee in this episode.
She **is** a pure soul. Doesn't mean she can't be sex positive. She actually hasn't been shown to be shy in that regard at all.
7,8,9 are probably my favorite episodes. I also really like 13
No worries! We all have pajama days!! ❤🧡💛💚💙💜
This is my favorite Firefly episode, but "Objects in Space" comes reeaally close, and was actually my initial favorite, so there's goodness to look forward to.
Each episode will be your favourite! :)
they should reorder the season and make this the last episode and make the inferiority scene the last scene
Not sure why you were so scandalized to see Kaylee going to the bone zone, she has been trying to get Simon to take her there the whole time.
With Simon it is unrequited love. With the old mechanic the sex was more about Serenity then him?
As well as comments made by others about her and her displayed absolute comfort with the subject of sex with Inara - to Simon's shock/surprise at one point lol. Kaylee's an earthy angel.
@@sebastianwittmeier1274I don't think at this point Kaylee's feelings towards Simon are so much love as lust mixed with some respect and affection. And I don't think unrequited is the right word either. He's unsure if he wants to take the next step towards giving Kaylee what she wants, but that's not the same as saying he doesn't feel anything for her.
I wasn't really scandalized, more shocked than anything haha
If I am home, my sweats are on!
As mentioned at the last episodes reaction, if I really would have to pick a favourite episode, this would probably be it. But than again, every episode that plays at the moment is a favourite. They are all so good.
What makes this one outstanding for me is, how clever we got all the backstories of the crew mixed into the main story. After this one you connect even more to every character.
I think this is still my favourite
“Just gonna look at my door…” and stick my fingers in my ears a hum…
🧐
I feel like each member of the crew is an external embodiment of some fragment of Mal's shattered spirit (still wounded from The War). Mal's effort to guide and protect them reflects an inner struggle to repair his own anima.
This one, and War Stories (Ep. 10) are the best of the series, IMO.
Don't judge Kaylee too harshly, she's a grown woman with wants and needs. Besides she's been fangirling for Simon ever since he came aboard.
I'm not judging, just surprised. Of everyone, I didn't expect her haha
It really was a great episode, huh? One of my faves. Your reaction to it is my favorite so far. Quite the dramatic episode. Interesting time jumps. Flashbacks to how the original crew came aboard is nice.
A lot of people reacting to this episode remark about Kaylee being “innocent.” I always considered her kind, sweet, non-confrontational & honest. Never innocent, though, imho.
And your reaction to River’s “freeze to death” statement was fantastic! 😁
Never would have guessed you were in your pajamas. Thought you were dressed in sporty winter wear. Hair looked really nice, if you don’t mind me saying. Recent haircut?
Thank you, as always, for sharing your work with us. Until next time… 🤩
It really was a great episode! This made me realize she’s not innocent, but it sure seems like it sometimes! Looking back on editing it could’ve been winter wear indeed! And yeah I did cut my hair! It’s a new hairstyle, thanks!
Imho this is the best episode of the few that we have. And it has the best dialogue of the show. Except that it happened off the screen and we didn’t get to see what was said!
Q: when Zoe woke up and learned where she was and what had happened, what did Zoe say to convince BOTH shuttles to return to Serenity where they KNEW there would be no heat or air and almost certain death?
I'd love to hear what she said to convince them!
i love Kaylees introduction... so funny
Your pajama-ness is cute! I'm in my pajamas on my couch watching!
The Kaylee backstory is awesome. We see why she has no problem with Inara's profession, she just doesn't see sex as anything but a natural human activity, nothing shameful. :)
This episode is a masterpiece in storytelling, weaving together multiple timelines and giving us lots of great scenes and moments.
Pajamas are the best! And yeah, looking back on the episodes, it makes more sense!
Jayne had eaten the cake. 41:00
If you watch carefully, they use some doubles for Mal in a few scenes, pretty neat three timeline transitions in this episode.
Yay! Been waiting for this one!
You know there's a movie "Serenity" they made to cap off the series? It's good, watch it after the series!
This is my favorite episode. I like all of them but this one is so revealing about everyone.
So we agree on that. LOL Your reaction was so much fun to watch.
Y'all be safe.
It's knowing your younger sibling is sexually active. Not a comforting thought but they don't require your permission.
Agreed
"Comfy" is good. You look fine. I'm sure most of us viewers don't look as presentable as you. 😁
Firefly is such a great show. Every time you pick a favorite episode, the very next one takes its place. EVERY episode is the "best" -- each in their own way.
Thanks for another great reaction! 🤗
I am happy everyone appreciates my pajamas! And you’re absolutely right, that every time I think it’s my favourite episode! That’s how great they are
Most comments, including my replies, have been about the Kaylee reveal but I think of all the great moments in this episode (in my absolute top two episodes) the second best is "Everybody dies alone" and the top favorite is Mal grabbing Wash when he won't follow orders.
Between his showing the first truly aggressive steps seen in enforcing his command, as with each of the others his tailoring his actions to what that crew members needs to function. in the emergency, the way Wash does pull together from it out of his complete panic, and the shot of everyone taking a. move back - especially a Jayne who looks a bit frightened.... Absolutely a great scene for Mal as a captain and showing us more of his command presence and crew assessments.
Won't give away any spoilers but I will say I think in this episode his different treatments appropriate to each crew member's strengths and weaknesses laid an excellent foundation for events in future episodes regarding his good judgement of his crew and the bonds he's made with them all.
Also, the foresight to attach a gun to equipment before letting the other ship personnel in and as it became clear it was going negative maneuvering his presence slowly towards it... ending with him landing next to it.
I agree about Mal knowing what he needs to do to lead the crew, each in their own way. He has to be forceful with Wash at that moment - but he's not insensitive. Witness his comment, after Wash has done all the technical things that need doing: "Go see to your wife."
@@rudewalrus5636 Absolutely! As a good captain and person, ultimately, he knows the time and place on how to handle the those who serve under him. Shows as with many times he has the balance needed.
Oh yeah last episode was “Jason” …( great memories)…
Now I have a picture in my head of Jayne running around Camp Crystal Lake. 😁
😭😭
@@VicFrost I hope I didn’t offend you. I truly apologize if I did. I really just meant for my comment to be funny. Yet again, I apologize.
Oh it was! My emoji was maybe a bit intense but I knew it was funny, absolutely no worries!
Your clothes look fine. I honestly thought you were just wearing comfy winter wear.
Hi Vic.
1. I was about to write, that watching you see Wash's moustache was my favourite part, until you saw the first time Kaylee was on the ship
2. Just like you, this also ruined my impression of Kaylee a bit, so I was glad not being the only one feeling that way.
The moustache makes a hilarious appearance in the bloopers!
@@eldritch5058 Yeah, I have seen it, the moustache was not the really funny thing for me, but her reaction to it.
It was so bizarre on his face! And I was so NOT expecting that with Kaylee
I just assume the "we're not moving" and dead in the water referred to the fact the engine was down and they couldn't course correct or accelerate or move in any controlled manner.
Wash had to get back to the bridge or they all could die.
ALL episodes are great, you'll see.
Kaylee is innocent in every thing she dose including having sex
the phrase dead in the water was actually factually accurate, as the act of venting the atmosphere and expelling the fire would have stopped most or all forward motion since the engine was dead at that point and the cargo doors on serenity are at the front of the ship
I think "shit" is "go se".
Vic I think it is absolutely adorable that you keep getting Jayne’s name wrong. I’d love it if you made it into a bit and started getting it wrong on purpose with more and more names starting with a J and then commentary by the editor complaining about it.
As I’m the editor, that would be hilarious! I’m actually gonna consider it!
~ Hi Dee ~
Hi :)
To answer your question, I think I speak for everyone when I say pajamas are simply unacceptable, formal attire is expected. 9/10 reaction due to -1 from no formal attire.
Awww, you know you found it cute... 😊
🙂👍
As much as i love this show, it yet again gets physics completely wrong. If life support goes off you would fry not freeze, eliminating heat is the hardest thing to do in space. Without convection or conduction the only way to release heat is radiation which is way slower than heat is generated by equipment and bodies.
Still love the show though.
It’s interesting how all these shows, never make sense
Pfft. Pajamas. Noone cares :) Noone sits at home and watches TV dressed up to go in public ;)
Very true!
I love your Firefly reactions and hope you'll watch Serenity AFTER you finish the series. Only one tiny issue I wish that you (and many other UA-camrs) would fix. The sound for your comments is much louder than the sound of the episode. So, I either have to turn it down to hear you fine but can't here the episode or turn it up to hear the episode, then your part is too loud. Thanks. Keep up the excellent reactions.
Yeah it’s hard for this, I got a new audio set up for 1x10, so it should be better for then!
This is an elegantly constructed episode. Unfortunately, elegance was wasted on Fox viewer even then.
How is your image of Kaylee ruined lol? Part of her character is being a very openly and bluntly sexual person
Is she? I hadn’t noticed lol
